Medo has a friend!

I am now a recipient of the Elephant Nature Park newsletter, which recently described the blossoming of a friendship between Medo (the lonely little ele with the broken back) and another elephant who also has a disability. Here is the story:

Ele Gossip: Mae Lanna and Medo Become Friends
For the past week or so, Mae Lanna (who is 85% blind) and Medo (who is severely handicapped) have been spending all of their time together! All at the Park are very happy to see this friendship blossom, as Medo has been a bit down since the loss of Mae Mai, and Mae Lanna has been solitary for the most part since her arrival. Mae Lanna had started to bond with Jungle Boy, and they were spending much time together for a while, but that relationship ended up cooling off a bit. They are still friends but don't seem to seek each other out.
As of now, all is well as Mae Lanna and Medo seem to have really connected, bathing together in the river, going on their morning walks together, and sharing the same sleeping shelter. They rumble and trumpet and seek each other out for comfort and consolation. It is always lovely to see a loner elephant finally bond with another ele and find confidence in friendship
